...and an all-star cast (TV version)

Currently, "The Good Wife" has one distinguished cast:

-- Juliana Marguiles, "ER"
-- Chris Noth, "Law & Order" and "Sex and the City"
-- Josh Charles, "Sports Night"
-- Christine Baranski, "Cybill" (and one hell of a Broadway career)
-- Alan Cumming, "The L Word" (and one hell of a Broadway career and, of course, "X2")
-- Mary Beth Peil, "Dawson's Creek" (and several good movie roles, including "Mirror" and "Flags of the Fathers")

 

Never heard of this...must check out. Thanks!

 

No problem Spike. It was a great show that ran on Starz. Both season are on DVD and both are great. Every ep has someone well-known as a guest star.

 

Kids Incorporated:
Stacy Ferguson (Fergie)
Jennifer Love Hewitt
Mario Lopez

 

And don't forget Marilu Henner's star turn in "Johnny Dangerously." (She also played Burt Reynolds' wife on "Evening Shade").

 

And those were just his girlfriends! There's also Mariska Hargitay, Megan Mullaly, Michael Chiklis, French Stewart, Laurence Tierney, Regis and Kathie Lee (already famous), Wendy Malick, Catherine Keener, Christine Taylor (Mrs. Ben Stiller), Peter Krause and Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston!!

That casting director was amazing. His name was Marc Hershfield, I believe. I'm such a Seinfeld nerd.

 

Ben Stiller Show

Ben Stiller (still relatively unknown)
Janeane Garofalo
Andy Dick
Bob Odenkirk
David Cross
Judd Apatow

 

The great thing about St. Elsewhere was that the actors who played the main characters (Begley, Daniels, Mandel, Washington, Morse, Pickles, Lloyd, Flanders, Furst) were there throughout the entire show, or almost all of it. Most of the other shows mentioned here had a revolving cast and many of Jerry's girlfriends only appeared for an episode or two.

With St. Elsewhere, you got Denzel, Morse, Begley, Mandel, Daniels, Flanders, et all every single week.

 

Really, the blue font can be your friend ...

 

I meant, at the time the show aired in 1992.

 

Pssssst. It didn't really exist.

 

Threshold (CBS/2005) a sci-fi show had this cast:

Brian Van Holt (Cougar Town)
Charles S. Dutton
Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones)
Brent Spiner (Star Trek)


Jeffrey Donovan (Burn Notice) and Catherine Bell (JAG) were guest stars.
